Top 5 Destinations of Tokyo

Being a recent employee at an accountant firm, the whole experience is very new for me. I love the fact that I get to go to other countries for my job. Due to the nature of my work, business world travel has become part of a routine for me. Just last month, I had the good luck of visiting Tokyo for a client meeting. 

Every time such an opportunity arises, I make sure that I stay a few extra days to explore the city I am visiting. Tokyo, the capital of Japan and the most populous metropolitan area in the world is a city that will charm you greatly. Its hustle and bustle, majestic skyscrapers and liveliness makes you fall in love with it. 

During my week long stay, I discovered almost every nook and corner of Tokyo. Here are the top 5 destinations that I think are a must visit if you are lucky enough to be in the city.

1) Destinations of Tokyo - Senso-ji 

Senso-ji, the most significant and oldest temple of Tokyo is a place you should definitely when you are in Japan. This ancient Buddhist temple does not only attract tourists from other countries. 

People from all over Japan come to pay a visit to the temple. The architecture and fascinating entrances to the temple are a treat to look at. The surrounding area of the temple is quite fun too. There are many traditional shops and eating places around where you can hang out after visiting Senso-ji.

2) Destinations of Tokyo - Imperial Palace 

Tokyo Imperial Palace is the main residence of the emperor of Japan. It is located close to the Tokyo station. The estate in which the palace stands is huge. 

Apart from the beautiful palace, the estate includes a museum, administrative offices and a few other private residences. The estate has vast green and beautiful gardens which will surely leave you in awe.

3) Destinations of Tokyo - Disneyland 

Tokyo Disneyland, the dreamy and exciting theme park is a must visit place. The inside of the theme park is a whole different world. 

It has been divided into seven themed zones and each zone gives the visitor a unique experience.

4) Destinations of Tokyo - Yoyogi Park 

Yoyogi Park is said to be one of the largest parks in Tokyo. The park is most alive and fun on Sundays. It is the perfect place for a picnic.

5) Destinations of Tokyo - National Museum 

The oldest and largest art museum in Japan is the one of the most interesting places to visit. 

The museum houses a big collection of exclusive art pieces and archaeological artifacts of Asia. It holds more than 100,000 objects and one can never get bored during a visit to this place.

4 Awesome Tips To Travel Around The Caribbean on a Budget

Traveling during the low season makes everything cheaper. There are less tourists so hostels are not crowded and that's when you can find the best deals. 

The low season in the Caribbean is from May to October but keep in mind that June to October is also the hurricane season. If you are going south of Dominica, you are very unlikely to be hit by a hurricane. 

However, if you are going north from there, keep an eye on the weather reports. Showers are normally late in the afternoon with clear skies the rest of the day.

Go Camping

Bringing a tent or a camping hammock is one of the best decisions you can make to save money. Some islands are better than others for camping. 

I found campground areas in Martinique, St Lucia and Dominica with all the facilities needed and very affordable camping fees. Some islands may not have campground areas, but they have plenty of beautiful and isolated beaches. 

Safety might come to your mind when planning to free camp on the beach, but it's very unlikely that you will have any problems. Just try to find a beach without any town nearby. I really enjoyed free camping on the beaches of Carriacou, 

The Grenadines and Barbuda. And if you are in the right season, you might even spot leatherback turtles at night!

Eat What The Locals Eat

Whatever it's produced on the islands is cheap. The options are not very diverse and rice and beans are always on the menu. Fruit is a great option. Mangoes, bananas, papayas and other tropical fruit are plentiful and delicious.

And don't forget about drinks. Beer and rum are surprisingly cheap. Whenever you are in a big town, try to visit the local market. There are normally plenty of stands around them where you can get cheap meals and have a chat with the locals. It's my favourite option.

Use Boats When Possible

Cargo boats are one of the cheapest options but they are infrequent and don't go to every island. Also, it's very difficult to find departure dates or any kind of schedule if you are not on the island already and go to the port in person. 

Local boats tend to be cheap but they are only available on short crossings. It's a great option to travel through Grenada and The Grenadines group as the islands are close to each other. 

The quality of the boats varies and they absolutely never run on time, so you will need to be very patient. Finally, you always can try to hitch a ride on a sailboat!
